Hierarchical modelling of production systems

Modern simulation systems enable modelling of large an production systems. To achieve an adequate model struc hierarchical modelling is absolutely necessary. These to be available for all model elements, describing mac layout. The authors have developed a method of hierarc for system structure, process plans and product input. hierarchical model can be simulated, from a single lea up to the complete model. Within the corresponding too check and binding across the hierarchical levels are e automatically. In case of contradictions, rules decide appropriate informations taken from the submodels. across the hierarchical levels are executed automatically. In case of contradictions, rules decide about the appropriate informations taken from the submodels.
